AMERADA HESS SERVICE STATION #30313 is a fuel terminal situated in Wall, Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. The facility operates within the densely populated Northeast corridor, serving as a key node in the regional fuel supply chain. As a fuel terminal, it handles the storage and distribution of petroleum products to retail stations and commercial customers. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which mandates compliance with Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These regulations require secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks. The terminal's location in a coastal state like New Jersey also subjects it to state-level environmental oversight, including the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) regulations. Fuel terminals like this one play a critical role in maintaining energy supply reliability for the region. Wall is situated near major transportation routes, including the Garden State Parkway, facilitating efficient distribution. The facility's operational status ensures continued support for local transportation and heating fuel demands, contributing to the economic vitality of Monmouth County and the broader New York metropolitan area.

The facility is located in a coastal area of New Jersey, which is vulnerable to storm surges and flooding from hurricanes and nor'easters. Such events could compromise secondary containment systems and increase spill risks. The proximity to residential and commercial areas in Wall necessitates robust spill prevention and vapor recovery measures to protect public health and the environment. Groundwater protection is a key concern given the region's reliance on aquifers for drinking water.
